I *know* I've got a bit of a cheek but I wonder if anyone can help me with finding where I got this quote from, please? I've cut and pasted it so many times and at some stage I must have left off the title and author and for the life of me I can't remember where it's from. If anyone can help me, 'your reward will be in heaven, my son'. Many thanks!

Doyle remembered those first three days very clearly... "I'm your new partner....." The first words Bodie said to him were spoken with thinly veiled contempt. No other way to describe it. He felt himself bristle immediately. His new boss, George Cowley, had introduced him to this arrogant man not more than ten minutes before, and the bastard was already getting on his last nerve. Bodie... Just Bodie, he'd said. Doyle had shrugged and said drolly, "Whatever makes you happy, mate." But now, with the simple words, "I'm your new partner.", Doyle could feel the derision wafting his way. Hell, he could have cut it with a knife it was so bloody thick. Bodie stood in the centre of the hallway, hands in his pockets, his chin held high, and a look of complete disdain on his face. Doyle wanted to reach out and punch the haughty expression from it. With glee. "Yeah. So he said," Doyle responded, cocking his head toward the closed door to his new Controller's office. "I have an assignment," Bodie said scornfully, striding toward the outside door. Doyle hurried to catch up. "Don't you mean "we" have an assignment?" "Can handle it on my own." "Not a chance. We're partners. We do things together--" Bodie cast an exasperated glance his way. "Don't need a partner." **********
